A truly stylish take on the jean jacket. This woman sports a denim blazer over a white shirt, with horizontal stripes, in the streets of SoHo.
The big red scarf was quite noticeable as she walked up the street. It helps to bring out the red highlights in her hair, and matches the inner lining of the blazer that she has exposed by rolling up her cuffs. The black ankle length pants are very flattering for her figure, and allow her intricate, high heeled sandals to be admired.
The park is usually filled with such joy; a moment like this doesn't appear very often. I felt her sadness as I took the pictures, and when I reviewed them that, not her outfit, was the overwhelming star.
I could not help but watch as her face grew longer and longer. I wanted to get closer, to find out what exactly could be making such a beautiful young woman so sad. The brisk wind of the day probably didn't help her situation, as the silk shirt she was wearing didn't offer much protection.
I could not stay, and so I wished her the best of luck from a far, heading, again, on my own way.
This is a great example of casual dress attire. This gentleman sports a straw trilby hat tilted back on his head, and a navy, deep v cardigan over a lightly checked, white shirt. His pants are straight leg khakis, complimented by a charcoal pair of docksiders.
The red pinstripes on the trim of his cardigan are a great detail. He does a great job carrying the navy throughout the outfit, on his hat band, tie and cardigan. The rolled up sleeves with the shirt cuffs out is definitely a nice touch.
On a cloudy day in New York City, you can't go wrong with a lot of black. This young lady covered a subdued taupe, layered dress with a slim fitting black blazer. The dress shows a hint of color, but not enough to disturb the neutrality of the outfit. She combined a pair of patent leather shoes with sheer black stockings to cover her legs, and a black Chanel bag to accompany her arm.
An urban cowboy catches up on his reading, while taking lunch in Bryant Park.
He added a thick, contrasting cuff to the bottom of his jeans, adding a nice detail, and exposing his rugged cowboy boots.
The different colors of denim create a distinct separation between the pants and jacket, making the outfit more independent and appealing.
The white button down, gives a crisp background for the tie to stand out from. Notice that the tie has blue in its design, helping to marry it to the rest of the ensemble.
Houndstooth is one of the most recognizable textile patterns today. The duotone pattern is famous for its simplistic color scheme, but it can also be its downfall. A red belt works great to add a touch of color to a houndstooth dress. A belt places the color in the middle of the outfit, creating a balanced yet noticeable statement.
When an accent color has already been added, a neutral color goes very well with houndstooth. This woman chose to match her open toed wedges with her handbag, both in tan leather. Very nice!
Shorts have a reputation for being leisurely and informal. This gentleman shows us that you can, indeed, dress up a pair of shorts, while remaining cool and comfortable. His purple Bermuda length shorts are crisp and neat, just like the light blue, short sleeve button down that is tucked into them. A purple belt, with a yellow stripe adds a small, yet noticeable accent. The outfit is finished with an elegant, yet airy, pair of leather sandals. Now who says you can't be refined in a pair of shorts?
Add a slick side part and a pair of aviators and you will breeze through the summer heat.
With temperatures beginning to heat up, boating season is just around the corner. A long sleeve, boat neck dress is the perfect item for any nautical wardrobe. Pair it with a skinny belt and flip flops to keep the Summer style flowing.
Pink is a true spring color. It does wonders lightening up a grey plaid suit.
I love this dress. Its simple, yet elegant tulip design is perfect for spring. The red flowers really pop against the white background. Pairing with a neutral cardigan helps to bright red accent under control.
